A layout especially for Challenge me Happy

So today I am uploading a layout I did espcially for a layout competition at Challenge me Happy. I was really blown away by the original layout by Piradee that we had to scrap-lift what an inspiring scrapbooker!

I had to look up whats 'scraplifting' meant lol I'm so new at this, scrap-lifting is a really cool idea (granted I guess you don't do it ALL the time) but copying a layout you like in some way should be a huge compliment (of course you have to say if you have copied) I think they say 'borrowing' ideas on the website I looked up which I cant remember right now...just Google it if you aren't sure.

I borrowed a lot of ideas from Piradee's original layout but I am so happy with the result it is so cute and looks great in my son's scrapbook album!

All the patterned coloured paper was from a paper collection I got from the warehouse by my minds eye and the background paper is Tim holtz craft resist paper which i LOVE (I have just got some new distress inks and coloursprays so I am looking forward to trying them out on the paper).

I recently purchased a new puzzle shape punch from creative memories so i put that to use and I made the flower in the top right corner using the new circle punch I just got from creative memories I had seen someone do something similar using ribbon to make the flower but i thought paper should work just as well...and it did!

I hope you like my layout, I know I do tee hee hee :)

Oops I almost forgot to mention its this cheeky little boys birthday today he is my big 2 year old now! Seriously who pressed the fast forward button? I love this photo of him taken in may I love his face :D
